Boy George Arrested

Boy George has been arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and assault charges.

Auden Carlsen, 28, alleges that the former Culture Club singer and another man chained him to a wall at the singer's east London flat.

Carlsen, a Norwegian male escort - who says he met George on a dating site for gay men - had arrived at the flat to pose for photographs in exchange for money.

Carlsen told The Mirror, "I was convinced I was going to die. George handcuffed me to a hook by the bed as they held me down."

A police spokesperson said, “We investigated reports of an alleged forced imprisonment and common assault made by a 28-year-old man. A man in his forties was arrested in connection with the investigation."
